Re: Bandai Entertainment to Stop Releasing New DVDs, BDs, Manga

I hope they are serious about allowing other companies to pick up their shows for home video release. I'd like to think there is still hope to see many of their titles released on BD some day. And...

Re: Mobile Suit Gundam 00 the Movie - A Wakening of the Trailblazer (Blu-ray)

WTF? That makes no sense.[/QUOTE]

Wing, G, Seed, Destiny and 00 have all used the same basic formula for cover art for the past 12 years. I'd be willing to bet none of which earned rave reviews by...

Re: Mobile Suit Gundam 00 the Movie - A Wakening of the Trailblazer (Blu-ray)

That can only be a good thing as far as I'm concerned. It's about time some of these AU stories show a little class.

Re: Regarding Funi's delays and their staff's level of power

Practically everything they licensed last year was a Geneon Universal property. GU, for whatever reason, isn't ready to have their stuff released outside of Japan. It's just a guess, but I think FUNi...

Re: [US] Fairy Tail

That's surprising after all the efforts many made to plant the idea in everyones heads that upscales are bad no matter what. That's where hyperbole brings us, and I don't envy those taking it upon...

Re: Naruto Shippuden Boxset 7

I know a huge stink was made about that for the manga, but from what I can tell the cigarette never existed in the anime version. I'm guessing both sides of the pacific had problems with that...

Re: Anime Sales in Japan - 2011

Railgun season 1 ended on the day before the Sisters arc begins. One of Saten's urban legends jumpstarts the whole thing, so she'll at least be a focus in the first episode. Original anime material...

Re: Dance in the Vampire Bund: Complete Collection (Blu-ray / DVD Combo)

The streams were edited, so they probably declined to review it at all in that state.

Very nice. I was hoping for this art.

Re: Rurouni Kenshin set to Return!

Kenshin is roughly the same length as FMA in manga form, so I could see them pulling it off in under 70 episodes.

Re: Tokyopop to Close North American Publishing Division

Sounds like you're nitpicking a tiny detail. It doesn't change the fact that Kodansha USA will be absorbing Del Rey Manga's properties and select staffers.

Re: What do y'alls do about series that will never be complete?

The only cancellation that affected me was the Scrapped Princess light novels. I obtained most of the originals partly out of spite and partly out of a desire to someday learn to read them. I could...

Re: [US] K-On!

It is rather unusual that Bandai didn't go all out with the english track at least. But then again, they didn't even bother doing a 5.1 for Haruhi S2 or Gundam 00. Maybe they just don't care about...

Re: Currently preferred format for anime?

They have sharper picture or something? That is the only difference I saw between dvds and Blu ray.[/QUOTE]

Re: TOKYOPOP Comes To An End

Perhaps, but I have a problem with this whole crap theory. We keep crying crap as if it's some buzzword. Yet, there's the question of the following and I'll go through it one by one,.

Re: FUNimation has Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt!

Oh man. I checked out the first 3 episodes. I figured this would be some low brow shit, but I still wasn't prepared for whatever the hell I just watched. It's so bad it's good. I'll definitely be...

Re: FUNimation has Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt!

It's already streaming on Crunchyroll (http://www.crunchyroll.com/panty-and-stocking-with-garterbelt) if you want to try it out.[/QUOTE]

Oh snap. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: The next Nintendo console?

It's been like this since the N64. I think they've found so much success with the handheld market that they simply stopped caring about the console side of things outside of appealing to the hipsters...

Re: FUNimation has Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt!

It doesn't look like something I'd like, but I thought the same thing about FLCL and was proven wrong. I've always been heavily critical of North America for exclusively churning out goofy animation...

Re: Tokyopop to Close North American Publishing Division

This is a very good point. It was probably very difficult for companies like Seven Seas to get noticed when Tokyopop was clogging retail shelf space with mediocrity.
